(Simsbury, CT. – by Mike D’Apice) - Rest easy, Farmington Valley! Your mighty, mighty vintage Simsbury Taverneers have returned from the inaugural Pittsfield Invitational Ballist (baseball) tournament!

Back and eager for further challenge, while some of you slept and others of you recreated, your vintage (1860’s through 1880’s rules) ballist lads (ballplayers) defended your honor in a gentlemanly fashion by recently defeating the skilled and courageous Westfield Wheelmen before exuberantly gleeful cranks (fans) at the Taverneers’ Simsbury High School home field.

Although a finely played match of spirit and ginger (determination) between two evenly-pitted clubs with the Wheelmen inching ahead 3-2 through the early tally, the thunder of Taverneers strikers (batters) bewildered the Wheelmen hurling (pitching) in an 8th inning 10-run-spectacular to win 12-3, earning the huzzahs (cheers) from those of good fortune in attendance.

Birthed in 2004, the 2006 season finds the Taverneers off to their most gratifying start in history at 4 wins-1 loss.  Captivating more hearts and minds match by match, you shouldn’t miss your opportunity to say, "I was there when the mighty, mighty Simsbury Taverneers team graced the field!".

Come party like it’s 1868!
